.jft0f THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY. AUGUST 6. 1898. a ocflau and Personal I 4 (wwwwwwwwww A trolley car Is now the thine most to bo desired on earth, To own n trolley car and a whirling olccti'lc fan would be really the nemo of happiness In hot wonther if one could not go away to a cooler latitude. In fact, many who have sought a cool clltno have been rather discouraged during these past few weeks while land breezes, dense fogs and mosquitoes have prevailed In most of the popular or fashionable resorts. But a trolley car, If you might control the patron age would be a boon worth having, rieblan? Yes, but then It is pleblan to be born, to breathe, to laugh, or weep; to live and to die. 11 Is more aristo cratic to own your horses, but driving has been attended with the discom fort of dust and tho humane feeling of pity for the reeking horses, nicycllng can bo recommended, to be sure, but even that Is growing rather pleblan and then in hot weather our Scranton hills loom up several grades steeper than at other times. On the steam rail ways the cinders and smoke are a dls advantogc, but the open trolley car Is a Joy and n treasure In hot weather. There Is something exhilarating in spinning off on the Throop line to OlyDhant or down that steep hill to Mooslc. Then there Is nlways the ad ditional Incentive to excitement In tho car leaving the track and bowling off ito tho lot beyond. Of course, It never ftas done that, but it is pleasant to draw a long breath nfter you have safely passed a dangerous curve or landed at the foot of a big hill. If one wants to entertain one's friends it Is a good way to charter a car for an evening, the expense Is slight, and start nt flc o'clock and have a jolly ride over any lines one chooses. Now this Isn't an advertise ment for the Street Hallway company, It is simply a plain unfrlllcd statement of possibilities In the reach of all. from the king of the milk trust, or any other trust, to the huokleoerry woman with a twenty-five quart pan on her cranium nnd a carriage that we might well envy.

EX-SHERIFF A. B. STEVENS. ,i,n Sketch of a Well Known and Successful Scranton Coal Operator. " XV In The Tribune's portrait gallery probably no face Is more familiar to business men and members of the legal profession than that of ex-Sherll'f A. II. Stevens, whose successes havo entitled him to recognition us a man of enterprise and Integrity and n lend ing spirit in Lupkawunna county politics. As a business man and a public of ficial, the record of Mr. Stevens Is creditable to himself and interesting to others. During the long period of his residence In Scranton he has prov ed tho possession of tho keen Judg ment that secures business prosperity nnd tho genial temperament that wins personal friends. Tho spirit that led him to enlist In tho Union army during the Civil War has led him to support till loyal anil patriotic movements; yet though flim in tho expressions of his opinions on political and other leading questions of tho day, ho Is not Intol erant or bigoted. A marked trait of lis character Is his Interest In the wel fare of others. Sometimes this has In creased his own responsibility, espe cially In seasons of llnandal depres sion, but it has never n.nde him sus picious or cold, nor nffected his equa ble temperament. Tho birth of Mr. Stevens occuried In Broome county, N.Y.. Sept. 21, 1S31. Ho was the youngest of seven children. At the ago of thirteen ho entered tho Blngharnton academy. His studhnt were cut short by his father's death four years later, and at tho ago of thir teen he was apprenticed to tho trade of a marble cutter which ho followed for three years In P.lnghnmton. In Sep tember, 1S5C, he came into what Is now Lackawanna counity and settled at Dalton (then known as Bailey Hollow), in Abli.gtou township, where ho en gaged In the marble business for five years, as n member of tho linn of Green &. Stevens. On dissolving the partnership, in 1H63 ho came to Scran ton and started In the marble business at the head of Penn avenue on Lacka wanna, where tho old Second National bank stands. He wns a member of tho firm of Stevens & May, and continued the business while In tho army, hiring a man In his place. August 14. ISfi-l, Mr. Stevens enlisted In Company C, Two Hundred and Third Pennsylvania Infantry, and was mustered in at Scranton as a private, but Sept. 21 he was made first lieuten ant nt Philadelphia, and served as such until May 20, IS63, when the war hav ing closeJt, he was honorably dis charged. Ho was nt Petersburg and took part In tho skirmishes from Deep Bottom to Chapin's Farm In front of Richmond, the second battle of Fair Oaks, and both expeditions to Fort Fisher. At the capture of that fort, January 15, UC5, the captain and half of the company fell nnd Lieutenant Stevens took command of the temaln Ing members.

At Cape Fear River and Fort Fisher ho received honorable mention from the olllcors of his regiment and compli mentary resolutions wero passed by members of his company, who dec'f red that they did not desire to follow any better or braver officer than he. One year afler his return Mr. Stev ens dissolved his partnership with Mr. May nnd opened a yard where the St. James hotel now stands, opposite tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western depot. Two yeais later he moved tho business to Lackawanna avenue, west of tho railroad crossings. Vpon hit election ns mnrshal of the mnvor's court of Scranton, he retired from thu marble business, and for the ensuing three yenrs gavo his attention to his offllco, which ho filled satisfactorily. He then became manager and treas urer of the Jllners' and Mechanics' Loan nnd Banking association, out of which grew the West Side bank. For some time he was secretary of tho School Fund association, nnd for sev enteen years was manager and treas urer of the Bridge Coal company. For several years he engaged In merchan dizing on the coiner of West Lacka wanna nvenue and North Seventh, the firm title lulng A. B. Stevens & Co. In 1SS9 he went to Plttston and built the Stevens' colliery at West Plttston, remaining as manager of the Stevens Coab company until 1892, when ho sold out. In the spring of ISM he wns em ployed as manauer of the Economy Light, Heat and Power company, of which ho became stockholder nnd di rector, managing the building of the main plant on Jefferson avenue and Ash street. This enterprise has been successful and the plnnt furnishes heat and light to many public buildings and residences. June 1, 1S96, he retired from the active management, but la still a director. When Scranton was Incorporated as a city Mr. Stevens wns a member of the first select council nnd board of commissioners. ln-lS78 he was ap pointed sheriff of Lackawanna county by tho governor, and the following year was nominated and elected on the Republican ticket, serving four years and live months altogether.

JUST FOLLOW THE CROWD. JONAS LONG'S SONS. J ONE WOMAN'S VIEWS. There ore all sorts of devices used by some people to delude the public Into believing that they do not have to work for a llvlnir. Some young girls carry a few school books In the con venient strap each morning to the fac tory, that chance acquaintances or strangero who neither know nor care about their social status may fancy that they are on their way to school. Others use the brilliant scheme of the music roll lunch box that will by no possibility betray Its true Internal Im provements to the casual passerby. One poor and proud maiden has util ized a small mandolin case In which she conveys the embarrassing but nec essary lunch, a book for noon hour, a fresh apron and other articles which she may happen to need. A paper graphophono case Is another deluslvo arrangement which may conceul the lunch. A bicycle tool bag, a Held glass case, a water-color box. Perhaps the most unique of nil those planb Is the recent happy thoueht of a lunch box In the shape of n camera that Is to outside appearances. It Is black, has the straps and all the para phernalia attendant upon a well-conducted camera. This Is really to be recommended as certain to deceive tho very elect. No one would ever be sus pected of being a school teacher, n clerk, a factory girl or In fact any thing but a fine lady with a fabulous amount of leisure nt her disposal If she sets herself up as an amateur pho tographer and goes about accompanied by a camera.

He was a brave, young soldier who had gono through the perilous march to Santiago and had escaped with no se rious Injury. When the llrst consign ment of mall and parcels from homo reached tho troops a box of goodly size was hnnded out to the youth. The other boys crowded uround him, and us he nervously undid the torn wrap pings visions of something good to eat frolicked through his brain.
